I've had several friends asking about where to begin when changing your lifestyle to making better choices when eating the right foods. It can be expensive getting started because I didn't have the right staples in my home, but once you stock up - it's not as bad. This way of life isn't for everyone - but it's really helped my husband and I, drop the weight & inches and it's foods that I can adjust to for a lifetime - not just a quick a yoyo diet! When people ask what I'm doing - I started with Whole 30 for 30 days and then transitioned into just eating alot of Sugar Detox Meals, Paleo Meals and just changing up recipes that I liked - but removing the wrong carbs and replacing with more fat burning carb alternatives. I don't eat bad sugars, dairy, rice or noodles nor do I eat condiments or dressing from the store - I make my own. You'd be surprised at how much sugar is in a bottle of ketchup, mayo, soy sauce and more!
So here's a good list of everyday staples that I've found I use! So of these I picked up at my local grocer and some I had to order off Amazon - if you have a Whole Foods near - most can be picked up there, however the Whole Foods nearest me - isn't so near and not worth the drive.
Ghee - butter
Coconut Aminos - replaces Soy Sauce
Coconut Flour / Meal
Coconut Oil
Coconut Butter
Almond Butter
Almond Flour / Meal
Olive Oil - Not Extra Virgin which is still fine to saute with, but flavor is to strong when making things like mayo
Tapioca Flour / Starch
Avocado Oil
